111-2 (?)

  • 111-2 (note The term headship is frequently encountered, as in headship ratio, the ratio of the number of heads of households by age, sex or other characteristics to the corresponding categories of population.) this is unclear. If there are 200 men age 60 who are heads of hh and 100 men age 60 who are not, then headship rtio is 200/300??? New to me.--Stan BECKER 17:42, 24 September 2014 (CEST)
I am not against the suppression of this note.--Nicolas Brouard 13:06, 26 November 2016 (CET)

111-9 (double checked)

111-10 (double checked)

A new sentence has been added, by Louis Henry, in comparison to the French first edition:
Un ménage complexe peut être décomposé en noyaux6, noyau principal 7, noyaux secondaires 8, ou en familles (112-1); la famille principale 9 est celle du chef de ménage; les autres sont appelées familles secondaires 10. On appelle dimension du ménage 11, ou taille du ménage11, le nombre de personnes composant le ménage.
Familiy (de)(re)composition is a matter which changed and is still changing. We even do not use the famille principale and famille secondaire expressions any more in French. --Nicolas Brouard 10:47, 20 April 2012 (CEST)
  • The Trilingual Demographic Dictionary Arabic-English-French of 1988 uses secondary family*. --Nicolas Brouard 19:17, 11 June 2012 (CEST)
The primary family 9★ is that of the household head when it is defined, the others are called secondary families 10★.

113-8-10 (double checked)

The vertically extended family 8★ consists of three or more generations living in the same household or very close to each other. The horizontally extended family 9★ involves siblings with their spouses and their children living together. The vertically extended family can generate special types such as the stem family 10★ in which only the heir and his family may continue to reside with their parents.

114-note 8

  • 114-8 (note) husband and wife are not in-laws. Wife's family of origin are in-laws to husband and vice versa.--Stan BECKER 17:43, 24 September 2014 (CEST)
(I added your precision): In certain countries persons related by marriage may be referred to as in-laws: wife's family of origin are in-laws to husband and vice versa. .--Nicolas Brouard 13:10, 26 November 2016 (CET)

115-3 (double checked)

Married couples living with their children are called traditional families 3★. A broken family 4★ is one in which one of the parents has been lost by death, divorce or desertion.}} Families where one parent, separated or widowed, lives with her children may be also be named single parent families 4★. Married couples, widowed or separated people who, at the time of the declaration, have no more children living in the household, may have special name, like in Germany, residual family (“Restfamilie”) 5★. When these types of families are living within a household, they are called family household 6★.
  • 1. In the United States of America, a sub-family is a married couple with or without children, or a parent with one or more never-married children, under 18 years of age, living as members of a household and related to but not including the head of the household and his wife. In Great Britain, the primary family unit consists of parents and their children, the parents' sibs and ancestors..To be revised, particularly for Restfamilie --Nicolas Brouard 11:07, 10 August 2012 (CEST)

115-4 (?)

115-4 Broken family: desertion or separation?--Stan BECKER 17:50, 24 September 2014 (CEST)

115-6 (?)

115-6* I don't think this makes sense in English.

It seems like saying Italy Europe.--Stan BECKER 18:00, 24 September 2014 (CEST)


116-2 (?)

  • 116-2 (note) 2. Cohort, n.: the term cohort analysis is used to denote a method of analyzing data, in which the experience of individual cohorts is studied throughout their lives, or other specified periods. Better not to use a word in defining it!--Stan BECKER 18:12, 24 September 2014 (CEST)

116-6-7-8-9-10 (double checked)

Occasionally we also use the expression third or fourth generation. Generations can be qualified according to their current age and, for example, the young and rising generation 6★, the middle-aged generation 7★ or the generation in the prime of life 7★ and the older generation 8★ while the age limits are often vague and therefore require clarification. Cohorts of people born during historical periods related to low birth rates (respectively high) can be referred as low-birth-rate cohorts 11★ (respectively high-birth-rate cohorts 10★). (to be revised) --Nicolas Brouard 09:52, 5 September 2012 (CEST)
  • 11. Because of the depletion of births during the first World war, particularly in France, the term classes creuses is sometimes used in the literature.
The reference that I found is: For someone who had known the classes creuses (low-birth-rate cohort) of the inter-war period... Power in Europe?: Great Britain, France, Italy, and Germany in a Postwar edited by Josef Becker, Franz Knipping --Nicolas Brouard 09:54, 5 September 2012 (CEST)
